Don't forget, the next member education session will be held this Friday Night May 31st from 6-7:30 PM at Irvine High School Room HLG. The session is designed to educate our coaches and members on the rules of the game and how referees are instructed to interpret those rules and call the game. We will be featuring an interactive video session where you can watch a video clip and then decide on what call, if any you would make. The calls will be discussed with the correct call identified. Why learn from the person next to you in the stands when you can learn from one of the best. Our presenter is Dr. Robert Corb, Director of Officiating for NCAA Water Polo and a sports psychologist from UCLA.
